Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Ru Xiu didn't rush out. She took the time to write down several diet recipes for weight loss and health preservation and gave them to Master Zhang. She also transcribed a copy and gave it to Emerald. That night, Ru Xiu tried to think of the medicine to lower her blood pressure and blood lipids, but she failed. It was probably because Ru Xiu couldn't say the name of the medicine.

The old lady's medicine was always prepared by Jade herself. Ruxiu divided the medicine powder she brought into several small portions, so that she could add a small portion each time she prepared the medicine.

Ru Xiu also specifically instructed the old woman in the small kitchen on what to eat and what not to eat. The old lady's meals were not difficult to make; the person who was in charge of cooking understood them immediately.

I don't have to do it myself, but I will go over every mealtime to check on the old lady's mental state and eating habits.

"The old lady is in good spirits, but her legs are still weak. Today she played cards with the scholar's wife for almost half an hour," Emerald said with a smile.

Every day, Gao would go over and chat with the old lady, keeping her happy. The two of them would get a little sad when they talked about Ruxiu.

When Le Ge and Xi Ge were led in by Manager Zhang, they were much more excited to see their mother and grandparents than Xiu and the others had arrived earlier the day before.

In particular, Brother Le talked about his experiences along the way. He could chat with his grandfather for half a day about just the city wall and the big horse. I don't know who he took after to have such a talkative habit.

Knowing they had arrived, the old lady took a short rest and then called her maid to come over. Ru Xiu and Gao Shi also accompanied them.

The children kowtowed to the old lady as her grandfather had taught them, calling her "Grandmother, Grandmother," which made the old lady beam with joy.

The old lady had Jade prepare plenty of money bags and distributed them to the children one by one. The children thanked her profusely, and the two little ones smiled so broadly that their eyes were practically closed, constantly saying that it was a bargain and that it was free.

"Our ancestor isn't old, so why is he called our ancestor?" Ge'er's innate curiosity came out.

"Our ancestors must have lived forever."

"Ancestor, you should come visit us sometime. We have mountains, small ponds, and plenty of fish and shrimp." Brother Le really talks a lot; he's a natural chatterbox.

"Aren't you old yet? If you get any older, you'll become an immortal." The old lady happily stroked the zither, looking at the children with smiles on their faces.

Apart from her eldest son, none of her children and grandchildren were around. It had been a long time since she'd seen such a lively scene, except for the Lunar New Year when all her children and grandchildren returned. The old lady was overjoyed.

"Scholar's wife, you are so blessed. You have so many grandchildren and nephews around you. You can enjoy your old age in peace and happiness."

"Grandma, I'm not as lucky as you. They're all such a worry. I'm always fretting about this and that. I don't have your kind of life of wealth and privilege," Madam Gao replied with a cheerful smile.

The old lady asked each of the children about their situation, and the children all answered politely.

Afraid of disturbing the old lady's rest, and not daring to let the children make too much noise, Ruxiu and Gao took their leave soon after.

After returning home, Grandpa naturally did not miss the opportunity to educate them, and it was a very strict test, unlike the tests that were easily passed on to Sister Shi and Ge'er.

Xige and Lege listened attentively to their grandfather's teachings and diligently memorized and wrote down the texts as he requested.

Grandpa was quite satisfied in the end, especially since Xige had learned so much in just over a month, something even Linge, whom he had personally taught back then, couldn't match.

Although Le Ge is not as good as Xi Ge, he is still much better than most children who are starting their education normally. Given time, he may not be worse than Xi Ge.

What Xige was most interested in were those travelogues, and there were many points worth discussing with his grandfather. So he kept pestering his grandfather to explain his doubts and answer his questions.

With Xige as a comparison, Grandpa didn't pay attention to him, and Lege was a little disappointed, so he went to chat with his uncle.

Just then, Brother Lin and Brother Wen were on leave, and their parents and eldest brother were also thinking about Mrs. Wei and Little Sweetie at home, so they said goodbye to Master Zhang.

Sister Shi and Ge'er brought one of each kind of toy for Little Sweetie, in various sizes. Gao Shi said, "They're beautiful, Little Sweetie will definitely like them."

Master Zhang kept apologizing for not being able to have a couple of drinks with us, and had Steward Zhang move a lot of things and pack a lot of steamed buns and mantou. The family went straight to the county school to pick up their child without having dinner.

Ru Xiu and the children hadn't seen Brother Lin and Brother Wen for a long time, so they went together.

Ru Xiu was still a little disappointed, as she hadn't been able to properly explore the city with her parents despite having come all this way. But Tan Xiucai and Gao Shi cheerfully comforted them, saying that if it weren't for this opportunity, they probably wouldn't have been able to see them again until they returned home for the New Year! Thinking about it, there was plenty of time.

The gate of the county school is quite impressive.

"Grandpa, who is that stone sculpture at the gate? Is it a high-ranking official?" Grandpa had studied at the county school, so naturally I had to ask him.

"He was a teacher, a highly respected teacher, a man of great learning who had taught countless students throughout his life, and a man beloved by all students."

Are all the students who can study here only beginners? Are they all very good at studying?

"That's natural. All the best students in Taocheng County have gathered here, including not only those who have passed the preliminary examinations but also those who are preparing for the higher-level examinations."

"Can't students without money come here?"

"That's not necessarily true. Some poor families who value education will tighten their belts to send their children here. The county school provides subsidies for relatively poor families, but it's only enough for simple meals. Without money, you can't go to take the exams."

"If we pass the preliminary examination, can we also come here to study?"

"Of course, that depends on your efforts. Aren't Lin and Wen just the kind of people you are? If you don't understand anything, you can ask Lin and Wen later. Their achievements are very good."

Brother Le must have a million questions in his mind. Once he starts talking, he can talk nonstop. His grandfather is also very patient and will answer all his questions.

For Xi Ge and Le Ge, the county school was a mysterious place, one that they both admired and longed for.

"I saw it, I saw it, I saw it~ Brother Lin, and Brother Wen is running behind him."

"Where, where? Uncle, please hug me and lift me up high, oh, I can't see."

It's definitely not this lively without Brother Le and Ge'er.

As soon as the gates of the county school opened, the children poured out. The students were all dressed in the same uniform, which was slightly different from the clothes worn by the students of Wenhua Academy. Although they were all wearing white shirts and square scarves and the styles were similar, the workmanship was more exquisite.

The parents or relatives waiting outside the gate also looked eager, just like parents picking up their children from school in modern times. The hearts of parents are the same all over the world, no matter the era.

Normally, the two of them would go home together during their days off, and occasionally their father would come to pick them up in an oxcart. This time, so many family members were waiting for them at the school gate, which startled Lin and Wen. They didn't see their mother and little sweetie and thought something had happened.

After explaining things to everyone, Gao felt relieved. After exchanging greetings with each of them, she stuffed steamed buns and mantou into the hands of her two grandsons before saying goodbye to each other.
